• Says it is betrayal of trust to North
A stalwart of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, Abdulmajid Danbilki Kwamanda, has cautioned the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, over attempt to pitch a tent with the presidential candidate of the New Nigerian People’s Party (NNPP), Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
Kwamanda, who spoke at a media briefing in Kano, yesterday, said any attempt to align with Kwankwaso would amount to a betrayal of trust and commitment of his supporters in the North, which they would not be able to handle lightly.
“We in North-West Zone do not welcome Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso into APC. We do not accept the idea of Bola Tinubu giving him any appointment even as low as a messenger in our party. “Should Tinubu ignore our outcry and appoint Kwankwaso, we are going to disrupt the entire APC in the North and withdraw our support for him.
“If we set the party on fire, not even Tinubu as a President can put out that fire. We are the North and the people are our people. “We have invested all our efforts, integrity and dignity in the North to mobilise the people to vote for Tinubu. They refused to vote for a fellow northerner just for him to win in the region and he now comes and embraces our major opposition. We will not accept that.
“We assure Tinubu that we will turn our back on him if he decides to ignore our call. We don’t welcome Kwankwaso to our party and don’t give him any appointment. This is our message to all,” Danbilki said.
Kwamanda further cautioned Tinubu to steer clear of the antics of Kwankwaso, lest he leads him and the party into a serious crisis as he (Tinubu) plans to enhance democracy in the country when he assumes office.
“Kwankwaso is more like a green snake that will lead you and the party into crisis and bring you down. Already, he had condemned voting for you in Kano, describing you as an enemy of the North, a criminal and unhealthy individual. “It will therefore be a mistake to welcome him to the party or give him any appointment in your government,” he advised.
